Nov 30th - Good Thanksgiving

Doug & Anthony came from Indy for Thanksgiving and Oliver came down from the Quad cities. David & Elaine Ott came for Thanksgiving dinner. We had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday.

Kathy recently painted the back "bedroom" downstairs. She had bought a trundle bed and we had to dismantle part of it to get it into the room. We had good help taking it apart and putting it back together.

Doug brought a red flashing nose with him and Lydia had to try it out.

We just about have the dollhouse bookcase finished. Kathy finish painted it today. I still have to put the back on it and we have to pull the masking tape off.

Yesterday and today I spent time "winterizing" the Hardy boiler. I drained it yesterday and today drained the lines. I had to install a valve in the water lines so that I could isolate the Hardy from our water system. I now have a connection that is dripping so tomorrow I'm going to have to shut the water off so that I can take an old valve loose, tape the threads and reinstall it.

This afternoon I went over to Kelsey & Andy's and we worked on building a bench in/under their bay window. I had built the frame previously. There is a register under the window and tomorrow I need to duct it out through the front of the bench. Kelsey still need to sand things and paint them. If I remember I'll take a photo tomorrow. Lydia provided lots of assistance, of course. She thanked us for her "table". She got a small chair from another room, pulled it up to the bench and sat down at it.

May God bless you and yours.
